Packaging Perf4j (mh_make)

[Mathieu Malaterre <malat@debian.org>]

Hi all,

  I am trying to package Perf4j using mh_make. It seems to work quite
well. Steps:

$ wget https://github.com/perf4j/perf4j/tarball/perf4j-0.9.16
$ tar xvfz [...]
$ mh_make
Environment variable DEBLICENSE not set, using GPL-3+ by default

Enter the name of the new Debian source package. If empty, it will
defaults to perf4j
>

Enter the name of the binary package. If empty, it will defaults to
libperf4j-java
>

Run tests while building the package?
[y]/n > y

Generate the Javadoc while building the package?
[y]/n > y

In pom.xml:
This plugin is not useful for the build or its use is against Debian
policies. Ignore this plugin?
  org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-release-plugin:maven-plugin:2.2.1



Should I ignore the error message (with stacktrace) or not ?

Thanks much.
